Side topic to an ongoing discussion about the days when a new release could generate a half dozen or more songs for airply: If coke off a hooker’s nipples is no longer an option, how does one bribe a music blogger or internet radio host?
The best answer will receive a Rock Town Hall Prize Package! Entries must be submitted no later than Thursday, July 22. Feel free to test me with actual bribes.
(And yes, chickenfrank, the image used here is meant to suggest that you use your Back Office privileges to compose a concert review, if you know what I’m talking about.)
Um, backstage privileges at RTH. Duh.
Heather’s already holding her hand on her belly, which means Chickenfrank has USED his privileges already.
Bribe them with Cheetos?
In the old days a label could offer a job in A&R, but I don’t think anyone does A&R anymore. There are barely labels anymore. So I think there would be an offer to hire the blogger as an “internet marketing consultant for my great new start-up that is going to revolutionize the way content delivery can be monetized.” It would be a handshake deal, of course, except that you can’t really shake hands by text message.

We all know that chickenfrank is a huge fan of James Darren’s work on TJ Hooker and assume he’s going to review an Evening With James Darren, but I’m holding out hope that he’s going to review a singalong movie re-release of Adrien Zmed’s Grease 2.
